Remember Snowpiercer? The post-apocalyptic sci-fi film from Korean director Bong Joon-ho, based on a French comic about everybody left on Earth living aboard one train that never stops? Despite being in English and having major stars in it, there's been talk that Harvey Weinstein wants to trim it to somehow make it more palatable or comprehensible to Americans.

I'm not sure what the plans are at this point - next week I'm supposed to see the original director's cut, which will also be playing the LA Film Festival. Maybe they'll wait and see how it's received there. In the meantime, there's a new red-band trailer...and it makes me want to see as much of the thing as possible.

Yeah, I saw it was playing at LAFF...unfortunately, it's a Gala event, so unless you have the right credentials or can cough up $1,000 or so for a proper pass (as far as I can tell), the rest of us may have to settle for a trimmed version, dang it. Lucky you.

Anyhow, even with it's Elysium-meets-Supertrain premise & feel, this still looks pretty damn awesome (though I don't even know why they needed a red band trailer, save for that shot of the guy getting stabbed in the hand), so here's hoping we get the full version released somehow.

just because we prefer TWILIGHT/BIEBER/the selfie song , THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE DUMB .

this reason we are forced to stupidity is because holywood has zero common sense and cant handle an actual film that may/maynot be this complexed *why do you think FOUND FOOTAGE films are so popular ; cus holywood goes CHEAP AND EASY*

@Gallen_Dugall Maybe the film explains how humanity created some sort of weird self-maintaining train tracks.

Which probably explains why humanity is shot to hell here in the first place...we spent too much time developing train tracks that could last an eternity as opposed to working on stuff that could've saved the planet. Truly, we were cursed by our own hubris when it came to trains...

@dnjscottmost of the time when they sell rail as mass transit the cost of maintenance is not included in the price. Rail maintenance is horrifically expensive for both the rails and the cars because as weight goes up wear goes up even more - this is the first half of why mass transit is a boondoggle

the other half is that it only sees full usage twice a day and the rest of the time is a losing venture
